I bet some of you probably don't like reading IM logs, hell I dispise it myself, but I think this captures what I'm thinking fairly accurately:

kaitou: have you seen aa megami sama?kaitou: or read the manga? random-stranger: hrrmm.....which one is that??.....kaitou: there's a goddess, belldandykaitou: and she comes down to earth to help keiichi random-stranger: not manga, I read Love Hina and saw it random-stranger: ohh....I only saw a few episodes....kaitou: hmm, I don't really want to spoil it, XD eh, it can't be too bad random-stranger: and they live in a temple thing cause keiichi can't bring girls to the apartmentkaitou: I've been thinking lately that aa megami sama is, although it seems to be heading towards a happy ending random-stranger: I sorta didn't feel like fishing itkaitou: a complete tragety random-stranger: it has slow...slow...slow plotkaitou: because keiichi may be living with a beautiful kind goddesss,kaitou: haha no it doesn't random-stranger: but he's embarrassedkaitou: XD the OVAs are shitty but the movie and new TV series is good random-stranger: *laughs* true.kaitou: but anyway, keiichi is living with a goddesskaitou: but, well, bell is a goddess, keiichi is not random-stranger: which is pretty cool...and her two sisters, alsokaitou: ...so doesn't this mean that keiichi will get old and die while belldandy is forever youthful?kaitou: What happens after keiichi dies?kaitou: Does belldandy just go back to business (the goddesss office) like nothing happened? random-stranger: hhrmm...you got a point there....but can't belldandy use her powers or something?kaitou: XD that's what I thoughtkaitou: "ah, belldandy would probably age gracefully with keiichi, although she cannot die" random-stranger: no....she prolly goes and ...umm...I dunno...mourn foreva or sumthingkaitou: and then since japan is buddhist in death ceremonies, maybe belldandy would find keiichi's reincarnation random-stranger: what if his reencarnation was something weird...like a snail or something?kaitou: I guess she'd love the snail random-stranger: If she doesn't smash it by accident, or drop itkaitou: but since keiichi's soul is cursed with the star of misfortunes, I don't think he'd be born as anything less than human. The guy's got such good karma a goddesss came to live with him, after all. random-stranger: right....then what if he was reborn as a lil girl or omething? random-stranger: something*kaitou: eh, but it'd still be keiichi.kaitou: XD eh, buddhism is special. random-stranger: isn't your memory partilly erased when you're rencarnated?kaitou: Most people do not remember their past lives.

For those of you who have watched episode 1 of aa megami sama, the 2005 release, you may remember the narrator explaining why keiichi is so unfortunate, and why belldandy is going to help keiichi, and then the last question: "Is this a blessing for Keiichi, or another misfortune from the star of misfortunes?"

So, what does everyone else think? Is Belldandy a blessing or a curse?
And while on the topic of megami sama... A fanart I drew
